Question

plant scientists are searching peru,mexico, and the middle east for wild ancestors of potatoes, corn and wheat. why is this search important

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

wild varieties are known to produce good yield in combination with genetically modified gene using GENETIC ENGINEERING  and thus produce a  new variety which culminates all the desirable characters and thereby  cultivating new varites of crops which are less dependent on chemical fertilisers.

Answer 2

Answer:

The search is important to produce a good yield using genetic engineering.

Explanation:

Genetic engineering is a process that uses laboratory-based technologies to alter the DNA of an organism.

Wild ancestors of potatoes, corn and wheat are known to produce good yield when it is combined with genetically modified gene using genetic engineering.

As a result of which new variety is produced that culminates all the characters that are desirable. In this way, a new variety is cultivated that is less dependent on chemical fertilizers.
